The Catalyst Plan proposes a new approach for Ignite Church Planting to fund organic church networks. It aims to grow networks to the point they can financially support other networks through tithes returned to Ignite. Projections estimate that within 9 years, as a network grows to 1000 people, it could recover Ignite's initial investment through 10% of tithes, allowing Ignite to fund new networks. This sustainable model could significantly expand Ignite's mission of starting new churches.

The growth of a church requires deliberate efforts andvcannot be attained by wishful thinking. These presentation is about a few ideas which have been found helpful in church growth efforts.

This manual is a complete tool to guide leaders and believers who desire to plant or renew a church. It is not training for ministry, rather training in ministry for those who sense God’s call to church planting and renewal.
This manual is not theory or some Western or Eastern new teaching but a timetested model, proven historically in Acts. It is not written to teach a new method
or improve the old methods! A word of caution: it would be a travesty to become more biblical and neglect your relationship with Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
If you sense this call, you may think that you must have a Bible College or a Seminary degree or financial support to establish a growing church. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of these, the Bible does give us a wonderful
example of how the church originally began and was established without degrees or money. By following the example of Christ and the Apostles, in the power of the Holy Spirit, you can be successful in seeing a growing church planted and established.

Running Head: BUDGET ESTIMATION 1
BUDGET ESTIMATION 2
Budget Estimation
Estimate Costs is the process of developing an approximation of the cost of resources needed to complete project work. Cost estimation accounts for each element required for the project and calculates a total amount that determines a project’s budget.
1. What does your current spend in aggregate and by resource and by month?
The method used to estimate for the months other than the provided is Highest of actuals. Since we are in 4th month of a 12 months project, we know that we are in the first quarter of the project. Generally, the first quarter comprises of the initiation and the planning phase. However, according to research a lot of investments goes in execution, monitoring and controlling of the project as well which are generally done during the later stage of the project. Therefore, we estimated that the highest of actuals will be required for rest of the months.
2. Do you have sufficient budget to complete the project?
CTG’s labor costs represent 70 percent of all costs of the overall EIM budget of $4.5 million, which sums up to be $3.15 million. According to the calculations above we can see that the cost of the project is estimated to be higher than the budget provided.
Cost estimated without contingency reserve = $3.23 million (approx.)
Budget provided = $3.15 million
Additional money required = $ 73,949
3. What contingency reserve should you ask for?
According to the information provided, project is in its fourth month of a 12-month duration. And generally according to standards the contingency reserve is taken to be 5% of the estimated cost of the project. However, since merely no data is provided for the project therefore, the contingency taken is to be 7% of the estimated cost, which is $225,676.4. However, since the budget cost is $4.5 million. Therefore, the contingency should also be calculated on the total budget which is 7% of $ 4.5 million - $315,000.
4. What are your assumptions about your estimates?
· We assume that the estimates will hold true till the end of the project without any changes.
· We assumed that the contingency reserve for this project is 7 percent of total costs.
· We assumed that labor costs and expenses for month 4 is not completed.
· We assume that the highest of actuals is estimated to be the labor cost for remaining months of the project.

Greg Spencer talks about the Paradigm Project, a for-profit business providing healthy, efficient stoves to Africa that drastically reduces a family's consumption of wood and inhalation of smoke and improves their economic stability.
Not only does The Paradigm Project help the poor, it leverages billions of dollars of value in the carbon markets, reduces deforestation, and changes the paradigm faced by many that creating profits from the poor cannot profit for the poor.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

The Catalyst Plan - Ignite Church Planting
1. The Catalyst Plan:Funding Organic Networks A Pathway to Financial Sustainability Ignite Church Planting
2. Ignite’s Current Funding Models High Impact Plan 150K over 3 years given to the church 75K 1st year, 50K 2nd year, 25K 3rd year. 10% of the plant’s tithe (1%) is given back to Ignite for 7 years following start date. Cluster Plan “Cluster” (3x congregations) + Ignite = a new church plant in 3yrs. (3churches x 15K) + (Ignite 15K) x 3 years = 180K Tithes: 5% back to Ignite, 5% to a new Cluster Proposed “Catalyst Plan”…
3. Ignite Church Planting Goal in funding organic church networks is to: Stated mission: Advance the mission of Jesus by starting new churches. The Catalyst Plan offers a new approach for the same mission. Multiple strategies = health. Grow an organic church network to the point of helping other church networks emerge by giving financially back to Ignite. Reach people outside of the “40%” and in urban contexts
4. Organic Church Networks (OCNs) 1 - Goal of OCNs giving back to Ignite: Return on Investment (ROI) recoups the cost so Ignite is able/motivated to start new house church networks. 2 - Goal of OCN supporting leaders (Catalysts) Keeps us honest about the time/energy needed for apprenticing Jesus-followers and planting churches.
5. Catalyst Plan Ignite*15K1522.5 1522.515 7.5 = $112.5K Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 36.4K 62K 104K182.2K Tithes**5.2K 10.4K20.8K *Funds Catalysts at 15K for 2 years, then 7.5K in year 3 ** See details on Slide 9
6. OCN Proposed Budget Plan * 2/3rd (or 10% of total donations) of this to Ignite
7. A Few Projections From year 1 in an organic church network: Catalyst #1 funded by Ignite, looking for #2. Assume 4 organic churches in 3years. @ 10 people each = 40 ppl $10 per week per person = $400/week x 52 weeks = $20,800 /year 10%* to Ignite = $2,080 to Ignite/year = $2,080 to Ignite by 3rd year. *(2/3rd of OCN’s “First Fruits” budget category)
8. A Few Projections Assumes 1000 people in the OCN in 9 years. 1000ppl x $10 per capita/week $10,000 in donations/week $520,000 annual donations 10% to Ignite $52,000 to Ignite in year 9 Projection: Ignite should recover ROI by year 9, only 2 years after their funding is complete.
9. Fine Print Calculations See how I got these calculations on Slide 7+8: “A few Projections” Year 1 = 1 house churches (HCs) at 10 people = total annual tithe: $5,200 --- $520 to Ignite Year 2 = 2 HCs at 20ppl = $10,400 --- $1,040 to Ignite Year 3 = 4 HCs at 40ppl = $20,800 --- $2,080 to Ignite Year 4 = 7 HCs at 70ppl = $36,400 --- $3,640 to Ignite Year 5 = 12 HCs at 120ppl = $62,400 --- $6,240 to Ignite Year 6 = 20 HCs at 200ppl = $104,000 -- $10,400 to Ignite Year 7* = 35 HCs at 350ppl = $182,000 -- $18,200 to Ignite Year 8 = 60 HCs at 600ppl = $312,000 -- $31,200 to Ignite Year 9 = 100 HCs at 1000ppl =$520,000 -- $52,000 to Ignite = total to Ignite at 9 years = $124,800 (ROI to Ignite is complete!) *Ignite completes 7 year funding
12. Feels motivated to start new “Catalyst” Plants……a NEW organic church network begins!

Maintenance is money for monthly expenses like websites First Fruits represents money that we give away to a preset cause on a monthly basis. Leader Support helps create sustainability in the leadership and investing in those who spiritually invest in us. Events is money set aside for space, food, and presenters. Needs is savings to be given away as needs arise both internally and externally. Savings is a rainy day fund and general savings.
